Appneugn July 1, 1974i', .serlaiNaaofassc z claims. forros-1s) My invention relates to safety razor blade magazinesl and refers particularly to safety razor blade magazines adapted for co-operation with magazine holders and safety razors 'for the withdrawal of a single blade from said magazine while.

"the remainder of the blades vare retained'therein. The particular devices of my invention illusftrated in the accompanying .drawing comprise safety blade magazines of particular constructions to adapt them for co-ordinated employment with a magazine holder for use with` safety razors, whereby a single blade may be withdrawn from the magazine while the remainder of a stack of blades withinA the magazine will be retained therein.

In devices ofthis character/the blade magazine is moved inwardly into a holder, the magazine having extensions adapted to move within runways, or channels within the holder, in order that the magazine may be placed and retainedl in proper position for applicationr to a safety razor having means whereby the movement of.

the holder and of the magazine will withdraw. a.

blade from the magazine and place vit" properly upon the guard of the razor.

It is, therefore, necessary that the magazines possess such physical formations to thus co-operate with boththe magazine holder and the safety razor head elements, in order to produce the desired result.

vFigure 1.

Figure 6 is a top plan view of a razorblade for which my magazine of Figures 1 to 5 is adapted.

Figure 7 is a top plan view vof a modified form of my magazine partlybroken away for-purposes of explanation.

Figure 8 isa section throughthe lines 8-8 of Figure 7L 'Ihe safety razor blade magazineshown ln Figwardly extended guide member I2, thence downwardlyeforming the wall I 3 and thence inwardly forming a bottom member I4. It will be noted that the twobottom members I 4, I4 are spaced from each other.

Two bladeretaining studs I5, I5 extend down wardly fromthe top I and are affixed thereto by rivets I6, J6. These studs are adapted to pass through openings I'I, Il of razor blades I8, Il and are of such lengths that they do not pass through the openings of the outermostblade I8a. It will thus be seen that the outermost blade I8a can be withdrawn from the magazine while the studs I5, I will retain the other blades within the magazine.

A spring I3, having openingsl 28, for reception of the studs I5, I5 and a recess 2| corresponding tothe recess kII of the top I0, is so po- .1 sitioned that it will constantly press the stack of ures 1 to 5 inclusive comprises a casing having the top member I0 having the centrally positioned recess II. Each side o'f the top I8 `is extended outwardly and then inwardly, forming thefo'utblades toward the bottom members I4, i4 with the outermost blade I8a abutting upon these bot tom members.

For convenience in withdrawing the magazine from the holder, an extended portion 2 2 is cut lout fromla side member I3.

Y The endcross-section of this device is such that the members I2, I 3 and I4 correspond to the cross-sectionuof a magazine holder, thus allowing these members of the magazine to co-operate with the holder construction and allow of the proper positioning of the magazine within the magazine holder.

The blade magazine shown in Figures 7 and 8 is adaptedfor use with wider blades 30 having vvfour openings 3|, y3i therein and a deeper recess 32 Yextending inwardly beyond the center of the blades. Y

In this form of my magazine the top Ill has a longer recessv33 corresponding to the recess' 32 of the blade, and it has four blades positioning studs i5,` I5 to accommodate the four openings in the blade instead ,of two as shown in the former ydrawings and two short recesses, 34.

It is to be noted that the end cross-section of thedevice of Figures 7 and 8 is the same as the device of Figures 1 to 5, as this formation is an element of my invention.

I do not limitmyself to the particular size of the elements shown, as these must necessarily correspond with the .size of the co-operating elementsof the magazine holder with which the magazine is employed.

What I claim is:

1. A safety blade magazine capable of being removably carried within a `magazine holder and adapted for containing a plurality of stacked safety razor blades comprising a top member having an inwardly extended recess from its one end, a bottom member having a longitudinal opening extending from one end thereof, two side members, an opening in one end of the device allowing the passage of a blade therethrough, at least one blade retaining -stud extending from said top member toward `said bottom member and spaced fromfsaid bottom member the thickness of a razor blade, and a resilient member capable of normal resilient abutment upon said bottom member, the upper longitudinal edges of said device being extended outwardly from the sides thereof.

2. A safety made magazine capable o: being removably carried within a magazine holder and adapted for containing a plurality of stacked safety razor blades comprising a top member having an inwardly extended recess from its one end.

a bottom member having a longitudinal opening extending from one end thereof, two'side members, an opening in one end of the device ber'and spaced from said bottom'member the thickness of a razor blade, and a resilient member capable of normal resilient abutment upon said bottom member, the upper longitudinal edges of said device being extended outwardly from the SIDNEY H.
